All Under Control

Secure all Tactical Locations within one Cell stronghold, alone or with another Agent.

A very easy way to do this achievement is to extract to a wide-open area, like Mason's Quarry, and take your Flocket Launcher with full 32 ammo. Just stand anywhere and continually fire. If you do it right and fast enough you should get the Achievement. 30 Explosions in 60 seconds.

Car Jump

Leap from one fast moving vehicle to another.

Kevin says...

(This is pretty unclear -- more tips needed! -Ed.) You need a helicopter for this one. Park a car near your spawn point and then re-spawn. Attach the new car to the helicopter with a Mag grenade. Drop from the helicopter and stand on top of the car. When the car drops you will fly up and eventually fall through the car and drop on top of the car you parked. You will get the Achievement even though it is not moving.

IIMrRobotoII says...

Most cars travel at the same slow pace. To "encourage" a vehicle to put the pedal to the metal, try jumping on a car then firing some sort of rocket launcher at a nearby building or wall. Be careful not to let the blast affect your ride and hold on tight. Once it gains speed leap into the air and try to land on a vehicle driving the opposite way. If it doesn't work the first time don't give up -- it might not have been a "stylish enough jump." Good luck.

Chopper Stomper

Leap from an airborne Agency helicopter and using a Ground Strike, kill at least one enemy.

AlbinoKola1 says...

The hardest part of this achievement is to get the helicopter. Upgrade to level 4 agility (preferably 5) and then head to agency island. Climb the ramp to the first level and jump to the building nearest to the helicopter pad. Then jump to the helicopter pad and set out to get that Achievement. Head towards freaks!

City Glider

Wingsuit glide through the airspace of all islands in Pacific City without touching down.

AlbinoKola1 says...

Start at the agency island either at the top of the tower or jump from a helicopter and head to the back left district. To prevent falling to far, dip forward till your streaks turn red then immediatly pull up till you start to descend again. Continue in a clockwise motion while staying close to the inner edge of each district.

Pass a vehicle back and forth between Agents 3x using UV shotguns. Vehicle must not hit the ground.

Kevin says...

Attach a Mag grenade to a car then throw one on the side of a tall building. Get a partner and make sure you both have UV shotguns. Alternate shooting the car up and you should both get it even if it hits the wall or starts hanging again. As long as it doesn't hit the ground you'll get it.

IIMrRobotoII says...

This Achievement can be tricky. This is easiest to do during the day and with teh help of someone who comunicates well. The key thing to keep in mind for quick results is the distance you stand apart from your fellow agent: Too close and the vehicle will fly over your head, too far away and you'll have trouble hitting your target. Both agents should equip a UV Shotgun and find a good open area with plenty of passing cars. Stand roughly 5 or 6 car links apart and target lock a lucky vehicle, fire a shot and it should be launch at a diagonal angle at the opposite agent who will wait for the car to come in range of the UV Shotgun before returning fire. If your having problems with the angles try a few practice shots and remember how far the vehicle gets launched. Good luck!!

An easy way to beat the last beacon is to equip the ultra assault rifle or UV shotgun, the homing launcher or rocket launcher, and shrapnel or quacker grenades. Use the UV shotgun or assault rifle for regular freaks. When the huge freaks come out, use the launcher and grenades. Be sure that you have enough distance between you and the freaks to prevent accidental death.

From the top of full-height Agency Tower, leap into the chimney stack and live to tell the tale.

XMun says...

In order to get the Pebble Dash Achievement, you must jump off of the tip of the fully constructed Agency Tower and fall to the depths of the chimney stack into a massive toilet. Level 5 agility is recommended and possibly required!

The tower will only be finished near the end of the game and is hard to get to the top. The only way that I know of is to jump up onto the ledge left of the wall with the large T.V. with the news on it, and continue up to the scalfolding. Then, jump up to the walkway and continue up until you can jump onto the building nearest to the Helipad. When you reach the building, jump and use your wingsuit to get to the helipad.

From there, Get into one of the four helicopters and take off. (RB is take off and up and LB is down) Fly to the tallest part of the tower and position your helicopter so that when you get out you will land on the top. Please note that the helicopter may hit you as it falls or will explode upon impact off of the tower behind you (more likely then the first one) and will rarely knock you off. Please be patient and repeat the process if either of the two happens.

Should you make it ontop unharmed, look for a gray tower far below you that should be in the oppossite direction of the other thin white towers similar to the one that you are standing on. You have to jump into the hole, drop the entire way down, and land in the water of a massive toilet bowl. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE WINGSUIT IN THE DROP! It will not count! Also, I'm not sure if this is a glitch or not but you will fall through the water and die. However, you should still get the achievement.

Afterwards, you can repeatthe process as many time as you like and after you obtain the achievement you may use the wingsuit to slow yourself down upon entering the chimney stack and several other times until you reach the bottom if you wish to look around.

By leveling up strength you will unlock a ground strike but you can get this without it. Find a big, dense group of freaks and climb up above them. Jump down on top of their heads and if you kill enough you will get it.

IIMrRobotoII says...

This is a fun little bonus Achievement that requires a Level 5 in the physical attack skill. Once you have level 5 you will unlock a special ability that does devastating damage to the freaks, and from there it's as simple as waiting till night, finding a good size group of infected and letting your agents fist fly. Have fun!

Pin Cushion

Use Harpoon Gun to pin 5 enemies to a single vehicle.

IIMrRobotoII says...

Once you have your harpoon gun find a city area where there's a good chance of multiple Cell units driving up to get in on killing your agent. Once 2 or more cars of Cell units arrive, pick the car that they surround the best and stick your first couple to it with the Harpoon Gun. Lead or push the other Cell fighters into the fire line of that same car and do the same until you have all 5. If your having problems lining up your shot with the vehicle, try ducking to make the shot more horizontal rather than at a downward angle. Good luck!

Plugged In

Locate and activate every Absorption Unit in Pacific City, alone or with another Agent.

The Agency Tower has 4 helicopters that can be used. Use these to hover above the city and spot the agility orbs along and press UP on the D-pad to reveal their locations. This should make hunting them down easier. Also, looking for them at night is far easier than during the day.

4 Agents, Wingsuit-glide through the airspace of all islands in city within 30 secs of leader.

AlbinoKola1 says...

Start at the agency island either at the top of the tower or jump from a helicopter and head to the back left district. To prevent falling to far, dip forward till your streaks turn red then immediatly pull up till you start to descend again. Continue in a clockwise motion while staying close to the inner edge of each district.

The best way to do this is to have a commited partner fly you to each location on a helicopter. Remember that dipping and then rising keeps you at the same altitude in the long run. If you fail, your partner can pick you up in the helicopter and fly you back to the location.

Yippee-Kai-Yay

Drive an Agency SUV into an airborne helicopter.

Kevin says...

To get this one get a friend to help you. Have him get a Mag grenade and Agency SUV and then spawn on the map. Wait for the helicopter to drop the SUV get in it and have him throw one mag on the helicopter and then one on your SUV. It will carry you up. If you hold "R" down you will hit the helicopter and get the achievement (it's easier then it sounds).

Psychophilia says...

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to have a second player to get this Achievement. Go to the docks in Hope Springs, move to the tactical location at the far right of the docks and request an Agency SUV from the drop zone. Take the SUV up to the roof of the building to the left of the drop zone as you look towards the city. Line up the SUV towards the drop zone and then get out of the car and drop down to request another vehicle drop. Quickly climb back up to the SUV and wait for the helicopter to arrive. If you time it right, you can drive straight off the roof and into the helicopter as it rises
